Tax thr ultra rich & increase basic wages.
This was not an inevitability.
This is the result of decades of political choices that rig the system in favor of the wealthy and powerful while leaving workers behind.
It does not have to be this way.

The ‘American Sovereignty’ ads trying to convince us ICE is full of family people are not working. We can see that ICE is made up of vicious sadistic thugs who want to hurt anyone not like them. They are hired for their cruelty and ignorant stupidity.

For the past 2+ years we witnessed Israel commit a genocide in Gaza with full support and funding from the United States. We saw other Western governments, like the UK, Canada, France and Germany, align with this policy of annihilation and denial.

Hhmm, no mention of Zionist money or influence in our government or through Epstein. Odd that, I hope it's not a sign of how deeply penetrated we are.

I once punched a guy in a bar, as I said to the cop, "I didn't hit him because he grabbed my boob, I hit him because he laughed in my face and said 'What are you gonna do about it?'"
A friend of mine found it HILARIOUS, and would send me similar news stories. It's a social thing. 😄

I've been calling for McSweeny to go for a long time. But will Starmer finally grab the bull by the horns & work for the electorate - or will his high rolling donors still dictate policy?
I hope for the former, but expect the latter.

Successive UK governments have created a student loan system which *actively* embeds unfairness and inequality between and within generations.
Finally, (some) politicians are waking up to it. It needs complete and urgent reform. Special News Agents report.
